Product Description
ASC sintered carbon block filters are designed for extended service life in chlorine reduction from water, outperforming standard carbon block filters. The filters utilize a unique sintered block with low binder content, enhancing the active surface area. They are constructed with granular and powdered carbon, protected by an outer spun bonded PP pre-filter to maximize service life.
Devices
ASC filters are available in scalable high flow cartridges suitable for both laboratory and production scale, maintaining consistent media and materials across all sizes, facilitating easy scale-up without requalification.
Compatibility
The filters are made from multi-layer carbon impregnated felt media with a polyester substrate, offering broad chemical compatibility and minimizing microbiological contamination risks.
Documentation
Manufactured under an ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System, ASC filters comply with EU regulations for food contact materials, making them suitable for food and beverage applications. They also meet CFR Title 21 requirements.
Regulatory Compliance
